I'm surprised, why he is still the leader of UNP, his has shown in numerous occasions that he is detached from the majority of this country, he doesn't know our culture, our language and has no regard for them. We saw that very clearly on the " Pasdun rata" incident during the election times. We know he's pro seperatism he has never said that he denounce LTTE violence and that Tamil grivences and Tamil homeland stroties are myths. We know that he was eagerly waiting to shake the megalomaniac Prabakarans hand after signing the MOU in 2002, when Praba didn't turn up he was so upset he rejected to shake hand with the LTTE terrorist who signed it. On the other hand we know he has no leadership qualities, a common complain of the UNP cabinet was that only a few friend of Ranil could approach him. His sexual orientation is also under question. Why is he still the leader of UNP? Does the MPs of UNP approve his statement? This is what every body should be asking. A strong leader who has a feeling for his country and the common people as the opposition leader is beneficial for the country. This is the time to retire him and the generation of "kalu suddas" from our politics. Lets win Sri Lankan politics to the common man.
